Manchester United legends Eric Cantona and Sir Alex Ferguson will reunite for a special in-conversation event at Aviva Studios next month.
To coincide with the release of the Cantona: Flower of Evil documentary, the former player and manager will appear alongside each other on stage in front of fans as they discuss the film, as well as their time together on the pitch.
Event Details and Documentary
Organisers behind the special one-off event, which will take place on December 7, have said the pair will share 'personal memories of their years together', and reflect on their time together that 'helped define an era at Old Trafford' after a screening of the movie.
The documentary itself, directed by David Tryhorn and Ben Nicholas, explores the life, career and legacy of Cantona, who played for United from 1992 to 1997. It received its world premiere at Cannes earlier this year.
Cantona's Legacy at Manchester United
During his time with Manchester United, Cantona scored 82 goals during 185 appearances, and earned the nickname King Eric for his impact on the club and helping them win their first Premiere League title in the 1992-93 season.
The Cantona: Flower of Evil film will feature interviews from Cantona's parents, as well as the likes of David Beckham and Guy Roux as they reflect on his legacy. Ferguson, who was United manager from 1986 to 2013, also appears in the film.
Tickets and Cinema Release
Tickets for the Manchester event will go on Priority Access sale this morning for Aviva Studios' members, with general sale beginning on Friday (November 13) at 10am via the Aviva Studios website.
In addition to standard tickets, there will also be the option to purchase a series of packages for an upgraded experience, priced from £150 to £999 each. The top-tier Gold package will include the opportunity to have a photo taken with Cantona and take home a United shirt signed by him.
The film will also be released in cinemas on December 7, with audiences across the country able to watch a broadcast of the special in-conversation event as it happens that evening. An encore screening will also be held at cinemas on December 12.
Written and produced by Stevan Riley and featuring a score by Orbital's Paul Hartnoll, the film has received top praise from critics since its Cannes debut, including The Daily Telegraph's Robbie Collin who called it "fizzingly brilliant" and a "match-winning masterpiece" in his 5-star review.
